Notes -
And this is why you have to know at least as much as the LLM to ask it advanced questions. "Good catch! You are absolutely right, you have to clamp the vein or the patient might die. ☠ If you want, I can prepare a step-by-step surgery checklist with detailed instructions."
I think that's overshooting in terms of adjustment.
Being a domain expert is obviously helpful when it comes to using LLMs. Being an expert is helpful for most things. Even Terence Tao benefits from using GPT-5T (and he doesn't even use Pro), so clearly an LLM doesn't have to be as good at maths as Tao in order to still be useful to him.
I think LLMs are very good at medicine, certainly at psychiatry. I suspect they'd be excellent at surgery, though my surgery days are behind me. Medicine simply doesn't require as large a "context window" in the human sense (working memory, conceptualization) as programming or IT work.
